Start or join a call

Call from a session, a chat or ⌘K, set up your camera and mic, and keep working while the call runs.

Start a call

  • In a session: open it and press Start call, or Join call when others are in.
  • In a chat: press the call button in the chat's header. It goes straight in with your mic, like a phone call, and the others can Join call from the header.
  • From ⌘K: type "call" and a name to call someone in your chat with them, or "start session with" and a name to start a session now with them invited.
  • From your DAW: in the desktop app, the project open in your DAW has Start session. On a Mac, tap fn while you work: Start session sits on the song's card. The session is about the project's track, the call opens with your screen shared, and Share shows the links to send so someone can join, point and take control.
  • On your phone: a live session has Join call in the Aden app.

The join screen shows who is in and your camera. Check your devices, then press Join.

A chat call becomes a session when you press Start session in it. That adds files, recording and notes, and everyone moves across with you. In the desktop app, the session is about the song open in your DAW.

Set up once

Under Devices, pick your camera, mic, speakers and studio audio. Aden remembers them. You can also turn on Noise reduction to take out fans and traffic (leave it off when you sing or play into your mic), or Lowest latency on a strong connection.

The flip button beside your camera shows you to others the way you see yourself.

Shortcuts

  • Hold Space to talk while muted.
  • ⌘D (Ctrl+D) mutes, ⌘E (Ctrl+E) turns your camera on and off.

Keep working

  • Minimise the call to a bar at the bottom and keep using Aden. Click the bar to open it again.
  • Pop out floats the call in a small window on top of your DAW, with faces, files and your controls.
  • In the desktop app, each call opens in its own window. On a Mac it shrinks to a bar while your DAW is in front, and the notch shows who's in.
  • Click anyone's camera or screen to show it big; the grid button brings everyone back.
  • The side panel has Files and Chat. People who join later see what was said.

Share files

Drop files on the side panel. They show up for everyone and are deleted when the session ends. Press Keep on a file to save it, or use Upload and keep. Drag any file straight into your DAW.
